An Autonomous Forklift Designed for Industry 4.0

Autonomous forklifts have become a key element of Industry 4.0, addressing productivity challenges and labor shortages. NOOVELIA made the strategic choice to develop its own navigation algorithms in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR).

Why Choose an Autonomous Forklift?

  • Increased safety: reduction of accident risks thanks to intelligent sensors.
  • Operations optimization: real-time mapping for smooth navigation.
  • Flexibility and adaptability: software designed to integrate with various industrial environments.
  • Energy efficiency: optimized system for reduced consumption.

We needed software and equipment that were adaptive and flexible. That's why we decided to go with our research chair and develop our own navigation algorithms. Stephan Elliott
